MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) - Work to expand a Mount Pleasant recreation park is expected to begin later this year.
The town’s recreation department says they’re currently in the design process for the Carolina Park expansion. There are currently only recreational soccer fields at the park, which are used by the city’s recreational sports and Oceanside Academy.
The Carolina Park fields are off Faison Road, near Highway 17 behind Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital.
Last week, the town changed the name of the road directly leading to the fields from Recreation Way to Ben Marino Way. Marino donated the land to this park and has since passed away.
